Bay of Islands Events Venue

From Our Customers

Organising the Harvey Norman themed dinner was pretty easy, even with Barbara overseas at the start of our planning. Everything (until a week out) was done by email.

Barbara was able to help me with catering suggestions, band and the drinks that we needed for this event. When my numbers nearly doubled, Barbara took it in her stride, made contact with the hire company and just had everything sorted.

We started our evening with a bush walk with bubbles and canapés on the boardwalk under the Kauri trees. The area was lit up beautifully and our guys loved the little “adventure” they were on.

When we arrived at Kauri Vista Venue, it was a fantastic surprise for everyone, there was all this darkness around us then the Venue and path were lit up with lights, first impressions count and as soon as I saw this, I knew the evening was going to be a success.

We had a marquee off the side of the Lodge, no one knew that we had to hire this at the last minute, the way the venue was decorated it looked like the marquee belonged. Barbara and her team did a fantastic job, the caterers served amazing food and the band that their music at the right volume for the venue and played the right sort of music for our theme.

My team were talking about the evening for the duration of our conference, they even requested that we find time to go back during the day which unfortunately we were unable to find time to do. Barbara certainly knows her stuff and hit this event right on the button.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend having an event at Puketi Kauri Rain Forest and Kauri Vista Venue .
